be the same width and height as the current door areas so your logic is
faulty.

Rubbish. The current doorways aren't aligned except when the trains are
running on straight and level track

Sorry? No idea wtf you're talking about there.


Unless you can come up with a sensible reason against it then perhaps don't
comment on it at all.

That's excellent advice for you, as would getting a better memory. Note
that tube lines have tighter curves than main lines. You only seem to

Yes, the sub surface lines do have tight curves which would obviously mean
no walk through trains on there. Oh , wait...

Oddly enough the Paris metro which has equally tight curves also manages it
without using articulated stock. And the carriages are just as narrow as
a deep level tube train.

travel on the Victoria line, but perhaps you should live dangerously and
take a ride on the Piccadilly and Central lines one day.

FYI I commute on the piccadilly every day. One is allowed to use more than
1 line you know.

But as you obviously think you know so much more about this topic than
qualified engineers, professional train designers and TfL, why don't you

No, I've simply seen what the engineers have done elsewhere.

get a pay rise from being a contract programmer by selling your great
expertise to them?

I actually worked on backend systems for some of the very first travelcard
ticketing systems for newagents back in the mid 90s when newsagents could
sell you a paper ticket.
